DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0026] For a clearer picture of the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure are to be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of them. In general, components of the embodiments of the present disclosure described and illustrated here may be arranged and designed by various configurations. Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present disclosure provided in the drawings is not intended to restrict the protection scope of the present disclosure. It is merely a description of the selected embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art on the basis of the illustrated embodiments of the present disclosure without any exercises of inventive work fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0027] Besides, the terms "first", "second" and the like are used in the description and the claims of the embodiments of the present disclosure and in the above drawings for distinguishing the similar objects, rather than specifying a particular sequence or order. It should be appreciated that data utilized in such manner may exchange with one another in suitable cases, such that the embodiments described here can be implemented in an order other than the one illustrated or described here.

[0028] "Plural or several" stated in the text indicates two or more. The term "and/or" describes an association between related objects and suggests three relations. For example, A and/or B may indicate three scenarios, including A alone, both A and B and B alone. The character "/" usually indicates an "OR" relation between the objects linked by it.

[0029] It is investigated by research that traditional methods for operating servers through image interaction interfaces are not universal among users as the permission for calling BMC operation is quite high. For this, an application container engine Docker container is created in the prior art. Software, such as IKVM client, virtual VNC server end and VNC server end, is set up in the Docker container. Operations on the server by the image interaction interfaces are implemented via interface transmission among BMC (including IKVM) ↔ Docker container ↔ virtual network console (VNC) client. However, both BMC and Docker container are disposed external to the server, and data transmission involves long paths and is heavily dependent. In case of transmission failure, the fault issue could not be timely discovered and addressed, which may further affect efficiency of data transmission and content display.

[0030] Based on the above research, the present disclosure provides a data transmission system, in which a DPU hard-wired with the server is configured and a virtual display device and a virtual input device are disposed on the DPU. An input operation indicated by a VNC operation instruction is simulated through the virtual input device, to generate input operation signals in a simulated manner. Such input operation signals are transmitted to the server, to enable the server to generate display data responsive to the input operation signals. The display data generated by the server are rendered by the virtual display device into display contents that can be displayed in a display interface. The display contents are then sent to a user terminal for display. In comparison to the restricted access permissions when the display interface is conventionally obtained on the basis of BMC, the embodiments of the present disclosure have no such issues due to the configuration of the virtual display device, the virtual input device and the DPU hard-wired with the server. Furthermore, the present disclosure is also characterized by convenient maintenance, timely detection of failure when occurs and targeted solutions to the failure. Therefore, the efficiency of data transmission is guaranteed.

[0031] Defects in the above solutions are discovered by inventors through practice and careful research. In such case, the process of discovering the above problems and the solutions to the problems proposed by the present disclosure below should be considered as contributions of the inventors to the present disclosure.

[0032] It is to be noted: similar reference signs and letters indicate similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in a drawing, no further definitions and explanations are required in the subsequent drawings.

[0033] Specific nouns mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure are introduced in details below:

1. Data Processing Unit (DPU), as a computing power chip, provides a computing engine for high-bandwidth, low-latency and data-intensive computing scenarios.

2. Virtual Network Console (VNC), as a remotely controlled utility software, mainly consists of two parts, i.e., client application (VNC Viewer) and server-end application (VNC server). Any Linux platform-based computers installed with client application (VNC Viewer) can conveniently connect with computers configured with server-end application (VNC server).

3. Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIE) has a main advantage of high data transmission rate, including relatively high system bus throughput, relatively low I/O pin data volume and relatively small physical dimension.

[0034] To easily understand an embodiment, a data transmission system disclosed by this embodiment of the present disclosure is elaborated in the first place. Fig. 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of a data transmission system provided by embodiments of the present disclosure. The data transmission system includes a server 11, a data processor DPU12 hard-wired with the server 11 and a user terminal 13, wherein the DPU is provided therein with a virtual display device 121 and a virtual input device 122. The hard-wire connection between DPU12 and the server 12 here may specifically be bus connection, or interface connection, or an indirect connection via a switching device etc. For example, the DPU12 may be directly inserted into an interface linked to the bus of the server 11. Embodiments of the present disclosure are not restricted in this regard.

[0035] In the above data transmission system, respective devices mainly function as follows:

The user terminal 13 generates, in response to an input operation of a user, a virtual network console VNC operation instruction and sends the VNC operation instruction to a data processor DPU;

The DPU12 simulates through the virtual input device 122 an input operation indicated by the VNC operation instruction and transmits generated input operation signals to the server 11;

The server 11 generates, in response to the input operation signals, display data after receiving the input operation signals; and transmits the display data to the DPU12;

The DPU also renders display data transmitted by the server through the virtual display device and sends display contents resulted from the rendering to the user terminal;

The user terminal is further provided for presenting the received display contents.

[0036] Based on the above functions, the data transmission system provided by embodiments of the present disclosure may include two data transmission paths, wherein via a first data transmission path, operations of the user are transmitted to the server 11 from the user terminal 13; and via a second data transmission path, the server 11 generates display data responsive to the operations and returns the data to the user terminal 13.

(I) For the first data transmission path:

[0037] The user terminal 13 generates, in response to an input operation of a user, a virtual network console VNC operation instruction and sends the VNC operation instruction to a data processor DPU; the DPU12 simulates through the virtual input device 122 an input operation indicated by the VNC operation instruction and transmits generated input operation signals to the server 11; the server 11 generates, in response to the input operation signals, display data after receiving the input operation signals.

[0038] Wherein for the functions at the side of the user terminal 13, input operations of the user may be an operation executed by the user via an external input device, or an operation executed by the user via input software of the user terminal 13. The external input device here may be keyboard and mouse connected to the device of the user terminal 13, and the input software for example may be soft keyboard etc.

[0039] The user terminal 13 may run a VNC client; and the DPU12 may run a VNC server end. After starting the VNC client, the user terminal 13 may generate a VNC operation instruction in response to an input operation from the user during the running of the VNC client.

[0040] Wherein the VNC client may be an application client corresponding to VNC Viewer and the VNC server end may be an application server corresponding to VNC server end.

[0041] Before the user terminal 13 sends the VNC operation instruction to the DPU12, the DPU12 also establishes a communication connection between the VNC client and the VNC server end in response to receiving a connecting request initiated by the VNC client.

[0042] Specifically, the user terminal 13 may send a connecting request to the VNC server end in DPU12, to request establishing a communication connection between the VNC client and the VNC server end. When it is determined that a communication connection is established between the VNC client and the VNC server end, the VNC operation instruction may be sent to the VNC server end.

[0043] For the functions at the side of the DPU12, the virtual input device 122 within the CPU12 may simulate hardware operations of a physical input device, i.e., simulating input operations of the user indicated by the VNC operation instruction, e.g., keyboard operations and mouse operations etc.

[0044] During specific implementations, in case that the VNC server end receives the VNC operation instruction, the VNC operation instruction may be sent to the virtual input device 122 through the running VNC server end. Afterwards, the input operations indicated by the VNC operation instruction are simulated by the virtual input device 122 to generate input operation signals corresponding to the input operation. In other words, the VNC operation instruction are converted into input operation signals.

[0045] As an example, the virtual input device 122 may simulate keyboard and mouse operations input by the user to produce simulating signals of keyboard and mouse operations. The produced simulating signals are transmitted to the server 11. The transmission mode here may specifically be transmission by bus. For example, the transmission may be performed through the PCIE bus between the DPU12 and the server 11; or the transmission may also be performed via the interface between the DPU12 and the server 11. Embodiments of the present disclosure are not restricted in this regard.

(II) For the second data transmission path:

[0046] After generating, in response to the input operation signals, display data, the server 11 transmits the display data to the DPU12; the DPU12 renders display data transmitted by the server 11 through the virtual display device 121 and sends display contents resulted from the rendering to the user terminal 13; the user terminal 13 is further provided for presenting received display contents.

[0047] In detailed implementation, the server 11 executes, in response to the input operation signals, a corresponding input operation; the display data are generated during the execution of the corresponding input operation. For example, a character operation input by the keyboard is executed to generate character data of a control interface; or a text operation input by the keyboard is executed to generate text data of the control interface; or an operation of clicking software contents by mouse is executed to generate software display data of the server 11 during the execution of the software contents.

[0048] Here, the approach for the server 11 to transmit the display data to the DPU12 may refer to the above approach for the DPU12 to transmit the input operation signals to the server 11, and will not be repeated here.

[0049] Then, the DPU12 renders display data transmitted by the server 11 through the virtual display device 121 and sends display contents resulted from the rendering to the user terminal 13.

[0050] The virtual display device 121 provided by embodiments of the present disclosure may simulate the rendering display function of the physical display device, such as screen rendering and font feature etc.

[0051] Rendering the display data transmitted by the server 11 by the virtual display device 121 may include performing virtual screen rendering on the display data and sending the rendering result, i.e., display contents resulted from the rendering, to the user terminal 13.

[0052] In some embodiments, the user terminal 13 has a VNC client run thereon, the DPU12 has a VNC server end run thereon, the VNC client, and the VCN server end are communicatively connected. Here, the VNC server end may be VNC server.

[0053] The DPU12 runs the VNC server end after rendering the display data transmitted by the server 11 via the virtual display device 121, and sends the display contents resulted from the rendering to the VNC client via the VNC server end.

[0054] Here, after the DPU12 runs the VNC server end, the display contents resulted from the rendering by the virtual display device 121 may be directly obtained using the VNC server end. Subsequently, the VNC server end sends the obtained display contents to the VNC client through the communication connection with the VNC client.

[0055] The display contents resulted from the rendering by the virtual display device 121 may be obtained using the VNC server end. In some embodiments, the DPU12 may be provided with a corresponding display device memory space 123 for the virtual display device 121; the DPU12 is specifically provided for storing the display contents resulted from the rendering into the display device memory space 123 after rendering the display data transmitted by the server 11 through the virtual display device 121, running the VNC server end, controlling the VNC server end to read the display contents in the display device memory space 123, and sending the read display contents to the VNC client.

[0056] The user terminal 13 displays the received display contents.

[0057] Specifically, the VNC client in the user terminal 13 may receive the display contents and display the display contents at a user display interface in the user terminal 13.

[0058] On account of the hard connection between the DPU12 and the server 11, it is required to further load drive programs after the start of the server 11, to enable normal operation of the device simulated by the DPU12. The detailed procedure is as follows:

[0059] The server 11 may be configured with a display device driver 111 and an input device driver 112; the server 11 is specifically provided for loading the display device driver 111 and the input device driver 112 after start-up, driving a virtual display device 121 in the DPU12 to work through the display device driver 111, and driving a virtual input device 122 in the DPU to work through the input device driver 112.

[0060] In detailed implementation, after start-up, the server 11 sends to the DPU12 a request for obtaining device information, to determine which devices are provided in the DPU12. Specifically, it is determined whether the DPU12 includes the virtual input device 122 and the virtual display device 121. If a feedback signal is received from the virtual display device 121 in the DPU12, it is determined that the virtual display device 121 is configured in the DPU12; afterwards, a display device driver 111 may be loaded to drive the virtual display device 121 to operate. For example, the virtual display device 121 is driven to render the display data. If a feedback signal is received from the virtual input device 122 in the DPU12, it is determined that the virtual input device 122 is configured in the DPU12; afterwards, an input device driver 112 may be loaded to drive the virtual input device 122 to operate. For example, the virtual input device 122 is driven to simulate the input operation indicated by the VNC operation instruction.

[0061] In some embodiments, the server 11 is further configured with a drawing software 113 and a driver memory space 114 corresponding to the display device driver 111. Subsequent to the above process in which the server 11 generates the display data responsive to the input operation signals, the server 111 is specifically provider for calling, based on the input operation signals, the drawing software 113 to write the display data into the driver memory space 114, and reading the display data from the driver memory space 114 and transmitting to the DPU12.

[0062] In detailed implementation, the server 11 may parse the input operation signals and call drawing function plotting operation data corresponding to the drawing software 113 based on the parsed operation data to finally generate the display data. Then, the generated display data are written into the driver memory space 114. Subsequently, the server 11 may read the display data from the driver memory space 114 and transmit the read display data to the virtual display device 121 in the DPU12.

[0063] As an example, the parsed operation data may be key values input by the user, e.g., "a", "b" and "c" etc. Then, the drawing function plotting key values are called to obtain plotted "a", "b" and "c", i.e., display data. Afterwards, the display data are written into the driver memory space 114.

[0064] Based on the above detailed description of the data transmission system disclosed by the embodiments of the present disclosure, embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a service system, comprising:

[0065] a data processor DPU, hard-wired with a server and configured with a virtual display device and a virtual input device, provided for simulating through the virtual input device an input operation indicated by a VNC operation instruction, and transmitting generated input operation signals to the server, wherein the VNC operation instruction are generated by a user terminal in response to an input operation of a user;

the server provided for generating, in response to the input operation signals, display data after receiving the input operation signals, and transmitting the display data to the DPU;

the DPU is further provided for rendering the display data transmitted by the server through the virtual display device, and sending display contents resulted from the rendering to the user terminal.

[0066] Since the principle followed by the service system in the embodiments of the present disclosure for problem solving is similar to the server and the DPU hard-wired therewith in the above data transmission system according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, implementations of the server and the DPU hard-wired therewith in the service system may refer to the implementation of the above data transmission system and will not be repeated here.

[0067] Based on the above detailed description of the data transmission system provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, embodiments of the present disclosure also propose a data transmission method, which is generally executed by a computer device with computing power. The computer device for example includes: an integrated device integrated with the server and the DPU hard-wired with the server.

[0068] Fig. 2 illustrates a flowchart of the data transmission method provided by embodiments of the present disclosure and the method includes steps S201-S204, wherein:

S201: receiving a virtual network console VNC operation instruction sent by a user terminal;

S202: simulating, through a virtual input device, an input operation indicated by the VNC operation instruction to generate input operation signals, wherein the VNC operation instruction are generated by the user terminal in response to an input operation of a user;

S203: generating, in response to the input operation signals, display data;

S204: rendering, through a virtual display device, the display data, and sending display contents resulted from the rendering to the user terminal.

[0069] Here, after the display contents resulted from the rendering are sent to the user terminal, the user terminal displays the display contents.

[0070] In an optional implementation, the user terminal has a VNC client run thereon;

sending display contents resulted from the rendering to the user terminal includes:

sending the display contents resulted from the rendering to the VNC client through a VNC server end.

[0071] Afterwards, the user terminal may display the display contents received through the VNC client.

[0072] In an optional implementation, sending the display contents resulted from the rendering to the VNC client through a VNC server end includes:

storing the display contents resulted from the rendering into a display device memory space;

reading the display contents in the display device memory space, and sending the read display contents to the VNC client.

[0073] In an optional implementation, further including, after generating, in response to the input operation signals, display data:

calling, based on the input operation signals, a drawing software to write the display data into a driver memory space;

reading the display data from the driver memory space and transmitting to the virtual display device.

[0074] In the data transmission method provided by embodiments of the present disclosure, an input operation indicated by a VNC operation instruction is simulated through the virtual input device, to generate input operation signals in a simulated manner. The display data are generated responsive to the input operation signals. The display data generated by the server are rendered by the virtual display device into display contents that can be displayed in a display interface. The display contents are then displayed on the user terminal. In comparison to the restricted access permissions when the display interface is conventionally obtained on the basis of BMC, the embodiments of the present disclosure have no such issues because of the integrated device integrated with the server and the DPU hard-wired therewith (the components within the device are also hard wired). Furthermore, the integrated device is also characterized by convenient maintenance, timely detection of failure when occurs and targeted solutions to the failure. Therefore, the efficiency of data transmission is guaranteed.

[0075] Those skilled in the art may appreciate that although the respective steps are drafted in a given order in the above method of the specific implementations, it does not mean the steps should be strictly executed in such order. Instead the drafting order makes no limitations over the implementation process. The specific execution order of the respective steps should be determined by their functions and possible internal logic.

[0076] The data transmission procedure between the respective steps in the method may refer to the related description in the above embodiments of the data transmission system and will not be repeated here.
